It is likely that there are some people who do not consider football, especially a Cardiff v Swansea derby, as a life or death matter – probably because they are too preoccupied with falling off the edge of the earth if they travel too far.
Among these must be the miserable deadbeats known as the Swansea Live Screen Steering Group, who have decided that the giant screen sited at Castle Square will be blacked out during Saturday’s top of championship game. According to the Beans on Toast, the arbitrary step was taken by unelected & un-named jobsworths from Swansea Council, South Wales Police, BBC, the City Centre Partnership and Swansea BID.
Their reason for pulling the plug on Swansea fans is “the amount of police resources being diverted to the match in Cardiff." Translation: screw anything we might have said in the past about public participation or engaging with communities, our priorities lay elsewhere.
In light of the above, and from our entirely partisan perspective, we feel the government’s intention to achieve public -spending cuts by dismantling over-staffed & absolutely non-productive partnerships has suddenly become a process of self-selection.

I have not yet assimilated that there is such a thing as the Swansea Life Screen Steering Group or that someone somewhere in authority actually created it. When it sinks it properly, I'll get back to you.
Will the screen on The Hayes be showing the game?
Wrecked Opinion Steering?
You can guarantee that Cardiff won't go without.
